English and French
Canadian SDSs and labels in both official languages, as one bilingual document or two matching versions.
Section 3 disclosure
Hazardous ingredients listed to each market's cut-offs, with permitted concentration ranges where you need to protect a formula.
Sources and change log
Data sources and the rule versions used, recorded in section 16, so you can show why each statement is there.

Questions
SDS and label authoring: common questions
Can you convert an SDS we already have for another market?
Yes. Converting an existing SDS is often quicker than starting from scratch, but the classification still has to be checked against the rules of the new market, because hazard classes, cut-offs and statements are not identical.
Do you complete the transport section?
Section 14 is completed from the transport classification you provide, or we flag where one is needed. Transport classification depends on the mode of transport and sometimes on test data, so we confirm it with you rather than assume it.
What file formats do we receive?
An editable Word file and a PDF for every SDS, and the label text as a Word file your designer can copy from.
How do you keep our formula confidential?
Your formula is used only to prepare your documents. We are happy to sign your non-disclosure agreement first, and section 3 can use permitted concentration ranges where the rules allow it.
